South Koreans nabbed for running mini-POGO in Angeles City, Pampanga
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) apprehended seven South Koreans in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, for allegedly operating an illegal mini-Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) site.
BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval noted that the trend has shifted towards smaller, low-key POGO operations with fewer than 10 workers to evade detection.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado affirmed the bureau's commitment to continue intensified operations against foreign nationals involved in illegal online gaming activities.
Viado emphasized President Marcos' directive to prevent foreign nationals from conducting online gaming in the Philippines, with violators facing arrest and deportation.
The operation in Clark was initially initiated to target a single South Korean suspected of running an operation in the area.
